The boiling point of potassium permanganate is 465 deg F (240 deg C). It is a strong oxidizing agent and can be used as an oxidant in a wide range of chemical reactions. It is soluble in acetone, water, pyridine, methanol and acetic acid.
Potassium permanganate is an odourless, purple to magenta crystalline solid with a blue metallic lustre. It is soluble in acetone, methanol, ethanol, acetic acid and water.
It is a strong oxidizing agent that is readily oxidized to MnO2 and liberates oxygen. It is also a very dangerous fire and explosion hazard in contact with organic substances, such as glycerin and ethylene glycol.
Some of the most common uses for potassium permanganate include air and water purification, odour control, disinfection, bleaching, and metal processing. It is also used in wastewater treatment and as a disinfectant in fish ponds.
KMnO4 is a powerful oxidizer and can react with alkenes to form diols. This behavior is useful in identifying unsaturation of double and triple bonds. It is also used to detect the presence of organic compounds with a strong tendency toward oxidation.
It is also a bactericidal and antifungal agent. It kills a number of bacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis; fungi, such as yeast and molds; and protozoan cysts.
It can be used as a topical antiseptic, disinfectant, and astringent for minor wounds such as athlete’s foot and impetigo. Apply a diluted solution of KMnO4 to your wound, two or three times daily until the infection clears. If you have a severe infection, your doctor may prescribe a stronger solution.
